BeNeLux (Belgium, Netherlands & Luxembourg) Ground Forces Techtree

Long enough.

Foldered Scorpion 76/90s for Belgian light tank line, also 76 for UK and 90 as Premium.

i left most copy paste out of my “extended tree” but i could make a bigger one with the copy paste added that fully focuses on lineup quality lol

Copy paste avoidance is good but I’m a big CVR(T) fan so I’d want them in!

UK and Belgium were the only major users of both Scorpion (1500/701 vehicles) and Scimitar (325/153 vehicles), so would be the only two TT with them. Both countries developed them differently and would have different NV, TI, mods, etc.

Are you sure it’s spaced armor or is it ERA?

helloooo found new ammunition for the Cockerill Mk III gun on some SIBMAS’ and M113s;

Current ammo pens 250 mm (which isn’t remarkable)
NR 478 pens 300 mm, and the NR 220 pens 330 but has a lower muzzle velocity
Might need a slight rebalance, maybe not

Also;

Capture d’écran (678)

With ammo:

Capture d’écran (677)

400 mm of pen, nice (pls add)

OMG yes! You’d be surprised how often you whiff a shot with the 250mm shell, and so many vehicles use the 90mm. 250mm sounds like a lot of pen but you’d be surprised how many times you hit but fail to pen, especially when most tanks you versus at that BR are heavy tanks.

it’s mostly just HEAT getting caught on some volumetric bs + low post-pen damage
but more pen definitely helps

hellooo again we could also add this AMX-13 with a Cockerill Mk IV A3 cannon (APFSDS!)

I thought the Belgians didn’t use the Scorpion 90
turns out there’s at least that lol, but interestingly enough it has the earlier Mk III cannon (can’t fire APFSDS)

Another interesting add-on would be several other variants of the Cockerill®3000 Series of turrets. (one is already suggested as the aa variant).

The 3030 manned ATGM turret aka “3030 FSV-AT”

  • Secondary armament:
    • 7.62 mm co-ax or pintle mount:
      • (7.62mm, 12.7 mm, 40mm AGL)
    • Rockets launcher (ex.g. Thales 70mm rocket system)
  • Ammunition loading: External and under armour
  • Anti-tank capability: Turret launched AT systems (multiple types possible, such as Thales 70mm)

We out here at 200km/h with our remote controlled, retractable ATGM weapon system, while being bulletproof against machine guns.

When you say it out loud the Cockerill i-X really is crazy xD
